What happens during the disease - other hyperparathyroidism
Other hyperparathyroidism is a condition caused by overactivity of the parathyroid glands, resulting in excessive production of parathyroid hormone (pth). this can lead to an increase in calcium levels in the blood, leading to a variety of symptoms such as bone pain, kidney stones, fatigue, and depression. long-term complications of other hyperparathyroidism can include an increased risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. treatment typically involves medications to reduce pth production or surgery to remove the overactive parathyroid glands.

- Parathyroid Scintigraphy
- Parathyroid Biopsy
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the levels of calcium in the blood and return them to normal.
- Prescribing medications to reduce calcium levels in the blood
- Surgery to remove the affected gland
- Radioactive iodine treatment to reduce the activity of the gland
- Prescribing vitamin D supplements
- Prescribing medications to reduce the production of parathyroid hormone
- Prescribing medications to reduce the absorption of calcium from the gut
- Prescribing medications to reduce the excretion of calcium in the urine
- Monitoring of calcium levels in the blood
10 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Other hyperparathyroidism - Prevention
